A true advocate

I was mentally devastated after being pulled over for a DUI. August helped me get through the process of getting it cleared. I cannot thank him enough for his help!

An Exceptional Attorney Who Truly Cares

When I got a DUI a year and a half ago, I was devastated. Waking up the next day, I felt more down on myself than I ever had before. Not knowing what to do, I picked up my phone and started searching for a lawyer. I left messages with several possibilities, but it was a Saturday, and I didn’t expect ...to hear back right away. August Petropolous was the only one who called me back, even though he was at a wedding and didn’t have much time to talk. He still took the time to listen to me, took down some details, and spent more time than I ever expected reassuring me that everything was going to be okay. It's clear he genuinely cares about his clients. Throughout the entire process, August maintained this level of communication and care. He felt more like a friend who was looking out for my best interests than just a lawyer doing his job. By following his advice, I was able to have my DUI charge dismissed and cleared from my DMV record. I got my regular license back after the initial administrative suspension and never had to install an ignition interlock on my vehicle. I highly recommend August Petropolous. Not only did he achieve the best possible outcome for my case, but he also provided support and guidance that helped me keep my focus on moving forward and rebuilding my life. If you’re looking for an attorney who is dedicated and truly cares about you as a person, August is the one you want on your side.

Outstanding professional service with a sincere personal investment

August Petropulis thru diligent continuous effort performed a miracle and was able to have 2 felony charges dismissed, no jail time and resolved my case to a misdemeanor with self monitored probation within 2 months! He was always available for me to contact, explained everything clearly and took a s...incere personal interest in helping me and my husband to be get our lives back together. There simply are not words to explain my deepest heartfelt gratitude for his professionalism and personal attention.

Lawyer with a heart

After going through 2 lawyers and numerous heartache--I finally found my savior! August is not only an amazing lawyer, but truly a great person. He made my 8 year old son's dream come true so quickly and with little effort on my part. In each and every one of our meetings/interactions; August alwa...ys said "We can do this." or "We will not give up." I never felt like I was doing this alone. He has great work ethic and goes above and beyond for clients. My son and I would not have gotten the outcome we did without August on our side and in our corner. It is rare to find a lawyer with a heart and a sense of humor like August. I have recommended him to friends and co-workers because as far as I'm concerned--there is no better!

Honest and Caring Advice

After a car accident I really needed advice with how to deal with the at fault driver's insurance company. I didn't know what my options were and August gave me straight forward advice. I felt like he genuinely cared and was knowledgeable about how I could move forward. With the advice that August ga...ve I ended up being able to resolve the issue on my own. If you need a consultation, I would definitely recommend giving him a call.
